Water quality may be low on many homeowners’ priority lists, but it shouldn’t be. Your water’s characteristics have wide-ranging effects on your everyday life and can even contribute to long-term issues that can be solved with water treatment. AP Plumbing has the equipment and skill needed to determine your water quality and the solutions that will improve your quality of life with fresh, clean water.

Signs Your Home Has Poor Water Quality
If you doubt your home’s water quality is good, consider whether any of these signs apply to you:
- Strange coloration: If there’s any hint of orange, you may have iron from rusting pipes. Gray coloring can come from calcium but could also be bacteria.
- Unpleasant taste: Any metallic or bitter taste could indicate contaminants and chemicals in the system.
- Textures: Hard water buildup often makes skin feel almost slimy after use.
- Noticeable smell: Dangerous smells include sulfur, detergent, or chlorine that must be removed.
- Cloudiness: If your water isn’t clear, you likely have a buildup of minerals or sediment.
Comprehensive Water Treatment Services
What does it take to improve your home’s water quality for both your health and convenience? AP Plumbing offers two systems as solutions to your water quality woes.
Water Softeners
A water softener system will significantly affect quality if hard water is your main issue. Water enters your home from your well or main water pipe and is routed through the water softener. The softener sticks to hard water minerals with resin beads, removing the minerals from the water, which then flows through the rest of your home’s plumbing.
Whole-Home Water Filtration
Whole-home water filters are a practical alternative to point-of-service filters that only cover a single faucet. They work where your main water line enters and filter out contaminants like chlorine and iron before delivering it throughout the home, so you can feel confident that all areas of your home receive the cleanest water possible.
How Do I Know Which System Is Right For My Home?
Homes in Rochester and the Finger Lakes area often have issues with both hard water and water impurities, and it’s not uncommon to combine both systems. A water softener produces water that’s easier on skin, hair, clothes, and dishes while saving your pipes from buildup and corrosion.
If clean water is your concern, whole-home filtration is the best way to ensure you get safe and delicious water from any faucet in the house. Ultimately, it depends on your priorities and concerns, and AP Plumbing is here to help you select the right system for your needs.
